Observe bullet strike on target
and adjust windage and elevation
screws as needed to correct aim.
You will need to remove the dust
caps from the top of the windage
and elevation adjustments to do
this.
NOTE: Each click of adjustment
changes bullet strike by the
amount shown on the chart below.
Windage/Elevation (inches of
movement per click)
50 Yards -1/16"
100 Yards -1/8"
200 Yards -1/4"
300 Yards - 3/8"
When you have finished zeroing,
replace windage and elevation
dust caps.
Electronic Reticle:
Your scope has an Electronic
reticle. There are 11 degrees of
illumination. The rheostat is the
knob located at the back of the
scope. It is labeled with numbers 0
through 11. When the rheostat is
set at 0 you will see a black
etched reticle. The reticle will light
up red electronically as you rotate
the rheostat through the numbers,
11 being the brightest.
Using the ATN Rangefinder
Reticle:
The rangefinder reticle in your
scope was designed to assist you
in determining the range of your
target. These distances are based
on a 6' target, if a 6' target fits
between the numbered baseline
(the five short horizontal lines
and the post of the reticle above
the baseline determines your
distance. If a 6' target fits between
the horizontal post of the reticle
and 2 the target is 200 yards away.
If the same target fits between the
4 and the horizontal post of the
reticle the target is 400 yards
away. The same is with the 6 and
10. The target would be either
600, 800 or 1000 yards away.
NOTE: The 5x33 series and the
2-6x40 utilize a range finder based
on a three foot target.
Bullet drop compensator:
You should have zeroed your
scope in at 100 yards. When
shooting at longer ranges the
bullet drop compensator can be
adjusted for 200, 300, 400, and
500 yards ( and 1000 yards for
8-24x65LU and 12-36x80LU).
Pending on the distance click the
bullet drop compensator to the
appropriate setting. This will
automatically adjust your reticle for
that particular distance. Your
scope also comes with other cams
allowing you to change your bullet
drop compensator to work with the
different rifles.
NOTE: 12-36x80 have special
mechanism for bullet drop
compensation with compensator
for .50 BMG. Compensator
provides shooting at the distance
from 200 up to 3000 yards. Turning
scale (Fig.5) have marked figures
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, and 50BMG
that corresponds with the
distances 200, 300, 400, 500, 600,
700, 800, 900, 1000 yards.
For setting of the necessary
distance combine the figure with
the mark on the immovable upper
part of the mechanism.
Changing the Bullet Drop
Compensator:
Set the bullet drop compensator
to the 100-yard range). Then
remove the elevation dust cover
from the cam. Next you will find
three small set screws on the
bullet drop compensator right
above the yardage numbers.
Remove these screws and lift the
cam off of the scope. Once you
have done this select the desired
caliber cam you would like to use
and place this cam where you
removed the previous one (make
sure that a replacement cam is
set to the 100-yard range. Then
tighten the cam in place by putting
the three set screws back. Finally
replace the dust cover.
Maintaining your rifle scope:
Your rifle scope is waterproof and
shockproof. However, you should
never try to take apart or clean it
internally (it will void your
warranty). If your scope ever does
need repairs or adjustments, it
should be returned to ATN's
service department. The exposed
optical surfaces will perform their
best if they are occasionally wiped
